Continuing with our Pinterest for beginners series, we’d like to introduce you to the different types of Pinterest accounts, how to open them and their different advantages.

Difference between business and personal accounts on Pinterest

If you use Pinterest as part of your business/how you make money you should use a business account (it’s on their Terms and Conditions).

For bloggers (and especially food bloggers), having a business Pinterest account has many advantages over a regular account. A business Pinterest account has the following extra features currently unavailable to personal Pinterest accounts:

To get an advertiser account you must have a valid billing profile and be in the following countries: US, UK, CA, IE, AU, and NZ. To upgrade your account, follow this steps:

Login to your business account and access your settings tab. Click on the Billing option.

Click on “Set up billing”.

Fill out all the information for setting up your billing account.

It’s done! Now you can upload your video pins on Pinterest! 🙂

Can I make a second Pinterest account under the same profile?

Unfortunately, unlike other platforms, Pinterest does not allowyou to set up multiple pages under oneaccount. To create a second Pinterest account you will have to use a different email to set up your new account.
